Amazing experience on Royal Similan Islands! - Our family with two teenage sons enjoyed a day full of amazing experiences. We were pampered with a hotel pickup, breakfast at the pier and pleasant transfers between islands. Our guides were so friendly and we especially enjoyed help in finding multiple Nemos (yes!) and taking group pictures in breathtaking backgrounds. Only improvement point that comes to mind was that lunch could have been more diverse.

Fantastic tour…enjoyed every moment! - Used this company as we booked through Tui Blue hotel in Khao Lak. The whole experience was very well organised from the moment we were picked up from the hotel until the moment we were dropped back. A great experience, lots of amazing snorkelling opportunities and beaches…wonderful photos of the Andaman sea…I would definitely recommend this tour to others looking to discover some of the beautiful Similan islands. This certainly didn’t disappoint and we would look to do this again. A great team, looked after us all the way. Thank you!

Horrible - The Similan Islands are very beautiful. However, they are an example of excessive tourism. We were herded onto a 40 person boat that was completely full. For an hour and 20 mins you get no view of the sea, just the people you are facing crammed into the boat. You then arrive at a most beautiful beach with wonderful clear water, except that there are already about 50 other boats in the bay. Half the beach is cordoned off so that 4 big boats at a time can land at the sandy beach to deposit or pick up their passengers. The noise of the boats diesel engines ruin any peace and quiet. The beach had about 1,000 people on it from all the boats. Then you go to two different places to snorkel, except you are one of 12 big boats at each location. About 500 people in the water trying to snorkel is chaos and very unpleasant. Finally you are taken to the most fantastic beach with wonderful sand, except that every tour boat visiting the islands bring their passengers to the same beach for lunch. Lunch is served on metal trays in a grotty shed, which reminded me of a prison. The toilets on this island are disgusting. After lunch you battle with the 2,000 other people on the beach for a good spot to sit. Our boat was the last to leave in the evening, at which point you could really appreciate the beauty of the beach. To be clear the islands are wonderful and the crew did their best, but the whole experience was horrendous because there are too many tour boats and too many tourists, The islamds are being spoilt by the greed of the boat companies.

Do yourself a favor and book a private trip! This was overcrowded and the service was awful! - THIS WAS THE WORST EXPERIENCE I HAD ON MY TRIP!! They were not prepared at all. Made us take off our shoes before walking on rocks (some peoples feet bled!) to the ocean THEN they didn’t even have flippers. They weren’t that nice either! No one tipped! It was 2 hours THERE AND BACK. It was all bumpy and so loud, we couldn’t even talk on the boat while riding there and back because it was so loud. Definitely not worth the $$ or MY TIME!! Next time I will spend more money on a private snorkel trip!
